An estimated 1,950 people took steps toward improved health during three community events organized by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina to mark the seventh annual National Walk@Lunch Day.

Approximately 750 people took part in the Columbia walk, along with 350 in Charleston and more than 800 in Greenville.
